Im Fokus steht dabei die Wiedergewinnung von Basismetallen (Kupfer, Aluminium), Edelmetallen (Gold, Silber, Platin und Palladium) sowie kritischen Metallen (Gallium, Germanium und Indium). Bei der Ausarbeitung von geeigneten Recyclingkonzepten kann das Institut auf langj\u00e4hrige Erfahrung in der Prozessentwicklung und Optimierung komplexer Stoffsysteme zur\u00fcckgreifen. Aktuell werden in f\u00fcnf Promotionsprojekten verschiedene Ans\u00e4tze pyro- und hydro-metallurgischer Verfahren entwickelt, erprobt und hinsichtlich ihrer Selektivit\u00e4t, Effizienz und Flexibilit\u00e4t analysiert. Die Verfahren zielen auf die Verarbeitung unterschiedlicher Stoffstr\u00f6me (z.B. Leiterplatten, Schredder-Staub, ganze Smartphones) mit dem Ziel, die eingebundenen Wertmetalle verlustfrei zur\u00fcckzugewinnen.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Key Aspekte: Reduzierende und energetische Verwendung von organischen Stoffen; Thermische Konditionierung (Pyrolyse); Autotherme Metallurgie; Mikrowellenerw\u00e4rmung; Schlackendesign und kontrollierte Erstarrung zur Metallkonzentration; R\u00fcckgewinnung kritischer Metalle; Autogene Pellets in Bezug auf Phasentrennung; Anlagenentwicklung zur pyrometallurgischen Behandlung von reinem Elektronikschrott; Prozessoptimierung durch Mischung verschiedener Schrotte<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-stackable-columns stk-block-columns stk-block stk-a7b143f\" data-block-id=\"a7b143f\"><div class=\"stk-row stk-inner-blocks stk-block-content stk-content-align stk-a7b143f-column\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-stackable-column stk-block-column stk-column stk-block stk-46d9d54\" data-v=\"4\" data-block-id=\"46d9d54\"><div class=\"stk-column-wrapper stk-block-column__content stk-container stk-46d9d54-container stk--no-background stk--no-padding\"><div class=\"stk-block-content stk-inner-blocks stk-46d9d54-inner-blocks\">\n<p><strong>Kontakt:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\" data-block-type=\"core\">\n<li data-block-type=\"core\"><a href=\"\/de\/team\/alumni\/damien-latacz\/\" data-type=\"page\" data-id=\"3954\">M.Sc.
